My hard work and determination finally coming to fruition. All the night oil burning, squeezing my brain juice; also the efforts from my boyfriend for arranging his classes, because of my desire, he conducted more than 80 classes within the week before we flew to Hong Kong.

One of the reasons I must fly to Hong Kong in that particular period is because of this:

Welcome to the Times Square Lomography Exhibition!

I have this desire inside me every time I read articles about Lomography Exhibition that held in the western countries. To blend myself into that oh-big Lomography wall but I think it's quite impossible for me just to fly there with this intention, only.

One day, I opened my mail, as usual, Lomography sends me newsletter and one of the title caught my eyes.

Lomography and Times Square Hong Kong present: the Times Square Lomography Exhibition

Many had submitted their entries for this exhibition. It took them several weeks to compile all the successful entries. It's all over the wall and floor!

The boyfriend got me a camera bag.

I have not much Hong Kong Dollar in hand, thus not planning to get it all though I want it so much. My boyfriend is such a sweetheart, he got one for me immediately as a gift. Presumably I have been a good girlfriend. :)

My limited edition Sprocket.

Only 2000 sets.

Time to load the X-Pro film.

In conjunction of LC-A 25th Year Anniversary, they made this video and been playing it repeatedly throughout the exhibition.

the happy lomographer :)

Happy Easter Day folks! Traditionally, eggs are the symbol that we relate to Easter season, not forgetting the long-ear rabbits. I don't really understand the meaning of Easter Day but I know it means a lot to our Christian friends. During this season, kids will spend time in coloring eggs and decorating their Easter baskets which filled with assorted egg-shaped treats. It reminds me of wearing customized clothes and knock on people's door, and bahh! It's a different season, I know.

Seriously, I would never aware that Easter Day is around the corner until I went to Hong Kong. They have decorations in conjunction of the Easter holidays everywhere, especially in the malls. To be true, in Malaysia we don't really have Easter celebration like other countries do, no?

I had an early Easter celebration by having the famous

鸡蛋仔and柠茶!

My first time eating 鸡蛋仔! They offered assorted flavors, I prefer chocolate flavor but I had minor coughing and flu so I ordered the original flavor instead. Max sad.

That brown camera bag is the one I got when I purchased Olympus E-PL1. Planning to buy a new one so that I can keep all, maybe not all but few of my cameras.

During dinner time, we walked into a random restaurant and ordered these:

四宝饭

鸭饭

一盘菜心

Mouthwatering when the dishes are served. I talked with mouthful rice and can't stop from shoving the rice and meat into my mouth. It were so delicious and the portion enough to make your stomach burst. Unlike the small little portion by the stalls I went nearby my house, it's like feeding birds.

After the dinner, we decided to take MRT from Tsim Tsa Tsui Station to Jordan Station.




They are very concern about hygiene. All the straws are wrapped.






Most of the stalls closed at 11PM. During the weekends, the street is even more busy and occupied will all kinds of entertainers and visitors. Down the street, there is another famous street which they named it as 波鞋街. I don't really recommend to get your new pair of shoes here as there are too many shops and it's difficult to differentiate between original and replica.

I've got a real cute pink color with white dots Reebok shoe from K11 and I can assure you it's original. :) Man, I felt so good walking with the pair of shoe compared to the Converse I brought with me. It's tiring to explore the city by walk.


Hong Kong government constantly educate the citizens to take care of their properties and beware of pickpocket. You can see the Police vehicles middle of busy streets and ready to assist everyone, especially the visitors. I was indeed a vulnerable human being, I wanted so bad to take a photo with them but I am shy, slap myself for that. Well, maybe next time?

Coming up next,

Lomography Exhibition in Hong Kong

My second Disneyland experience is absolutely fantastic and marvelous compared to the first time! In conjunction of the 5th Year Anniversary and Pin Trading Fun Day 2011, we entered the park for two consecutive days during our stays in Hollywood Hotel.

I reluctantly booked the hotel room in Hollywood Hotel; It was a last minute booking and unfortunately due to the fully booking status, we didn't managed to book a room in Disneyland Hotel, not even the Kingdom Suite. My stays in the Victorian style Disneyland Hotel last September indeed an irresistibly memorable experience. The ambiance was overwhelming lovely and peaceful. I want Disneyland Hotel! Can you hear me?!

Hollywood Hotel don't offer free Wifi service in the lobby and hotel rooms. The internet service in room will be charged about HKD120 per day. The room is slightly small compared to Disneyland Hotel's. It's not a major concern after all as I spent less hours in the hotel. I should be satisfied that I am fortunate to stay 2 nights instead of catching up last train back to the modern city, don't you think so?

Was confused when the cast member handed me the Birthday badge. The boyfriend seems have no idea and my curiosity isn't urging much, so I just accepted it with my free will.

The Magical hotel room.

Welcome to Hollywood Hotel!

I was greeted by this cute little thing the moment I entered the bathroom before took a peek into the bedroom. It brighten my day as I was grumbled how distasteful are those particular hotel guests ever since I met them in the lobby 5 minutes ago; they were making noise the children were chicken running everywhere, I felt so annoyed.

I was holding this little cute thing coming out from the bathroom wanting to show it to the boyfriend, and then I saw

Love message on the bed!

I was surprised! Such a loving act happened in my life and I am touched. Never expecting that my boyfriend knows that my immune system failed whenever I see cute things instead of roses or luxury gifts. Then I turn around and saw these:

Two doggie next to the bed!

And I screamed in surprise when I saw this on the table! Unbelievably that my boyfriend had planned all these even before we boarded the plane!

Delicious fruit cake!

And I received a cake specially from

Chef Mickey!

Forget about the reality. I was thrilled when I first opened up the card as I was expecting the card was from the boyfriend. Chef Mickey appointed this birthday card specially to me!

Happy (belated) Birthday to myself :)

Never thought I can blow birthday candles in Disneyland resort this year. I never planned to celebrate my birthday as that special day of mine also the day my grandmother from mother side passed away. Not forgetting to mention our Chinese culture which that day itself is Qing Ming. I'm not sure if other guest rooms are decorated with such beautiful and cute towel but I really appreciate their efforts, I take back whatever I said about Hollywood Hotel. Although both the hotels are different in so many ways, but the service deserves my two thumbs up! In the other hand, my gratitude especially to my boyfriend whom I never thought he would ever plan all these for me.

On top of that, I also receive the Star Guest badge from him. It's a badge specially made for you to hand it to your V.I.P and show how importantly precious they are to you. Stay tuned for more, see you soon thuggies :)
